I hope, I can get an answer, I didn't find any related topic, so I decided to make a new one... So I tried to install several applications like Neverball or SuperTux and they do install, but in fact i always get a segmentation fault, when i try to run these programs... So is there a way to fix this.

I tried a few things... Whether I installed it with apt-get install or by using the Software center, it installs, but it doesn't run, neither using the command line nor clicking on the corresponding icons.

This problem doesn't for instance apply to OpenOffice, it seems especially games won't run...

Were there any errors when you installed? What was the output of apt-get? Exactly what error is being thrown? The problem is that there are many, many different things that could be causing it. Basically, try to give us all of the information that seems relevant, and no more.

It looks to be failing when trying to render OpenGL. I don't know how well the default drivers work. Have you switched your video driver? If not, you may want to.

Try installing the proprietary ATI drivers for your video card (called fglrx). You can find a fairly comprehensive how-to guide on this. As the guide itself says, however, the easiest way may be to use the Hardware Drivers manager. I'm not sure if this is accurate, but according to an earlier answer, the drivers manager can be found in Lubuntu under Preferences > Software Sources > Additional Drivers (as of Quaztal).

This seems to be even more messed up then I thought, this probably will work for most of the others with the same problem, but for me, it kind of won't. I can install the fglrx package, but when i go for fglrxinfo I receive yet again a segmentation fault

@Matthias: Someone else seems to have had this problem, but they didn't have a Radeon card. What's the output of sudo lspci | grep VGA?

i added the output to my question... unfortunately, the solution described in the link won't work for me.

I'm not sure whether this can help you, but I noticed that the xorg.conf file is empty...

@Matthias: That's not unheard of; nowadays the X server will try to auto-detect anything it can, so the xorg.conf file is only necessary when you need to override something. Question: before you switched to fglrx, was your system running on the Open-Source driver?
